Abstract Soil salinity, measured as electroconductivity (dS m–1), is a major problem in crop production, including areas where entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are applied as biological control agents. EPN species, primarily Heterorhabditis, have b

Resource pulses are infrequent, large-magnitude, and short-duration events of increased resource availability. They include a diverse set of extreme events in a wide range of ecosystems, but identifying general patterns among the diversity of pulsed

Abstract Bionematicides may exhibit complex modes of action based on: i) direct lethal or sub-lethal effects on the nematode; ii) promotion of plant growth and damage tolerance; and/or iii) influencing the interaction between the plant and the nemato

We examined the influence of insect cadaver desiccation on the virulence and production of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), common natural enemies of many soil-dwelling insects. EPNs are often used in biological control, and we investigated the fea

An increasing number of studies in a wide range of natural systems have investigated how pulses of resource availability influence ecological processes at individual, population, and community levels. Taken together, these studies suggest that some c

Omnivorous natural enemies of herbivores consume plant-based resources and may elicit induced resistance in their host plant. A greater induction threshold for damage produced by omnivorous predators than for strict herbivores might be expected if om

Researchers will be able to use stable isotope analysis to study community structure in an efficient way, without a need for extensive calibrations, if isotopic enrichment values are consistent, or if variation in enrichment values can be predicted.
